Testimonials From Our German Exchanges

  • "We had a wonderful experience. Our guests were fun to be with & we enjoyed being a part of their visit. We enjoyed our free time with them, whether it be shopping at the outlet mall or having time to enjoy our back yard and letting them swim in the lake. We felt like we had family visiting, the way they helped in the kitchen after meal time and the way they seemed to feel at home. A week was too short a time for them to be with us. We wish that they could have stayed longer. They came to us as strangers and left a week later as friends."

    Vince & Sharon L., Hosted 4 Ludwigsburg Zither Club members

  • "The exchange was a great experience for our sons. Even though they lived in Germany and had German friends. This experience is much different and worth the time and effort. We had a great time together over the two weeks and are looking forward to seeing them in Germany."

  • "This was / is such a great program!!! My daughter still talks with all of her "Germans"....as a matter of fact, Maxi who was part of the OFHS exchange program last year is coming back to the states and will be staying with us for a month! He will be attending some classes and visiting all of his Orchard Farm friends! Maxi did not stay with us on his initial trip with Sister Cities but we are still very excited to have him!"
